Mixed Rice

The mixed media challenge this week (MIX81) was to use really wet water colored paint and while there were still puddles of paint/water on the paper put rice on top of it so the rice can soak up the pigment.

You have to let it completely dry before removing the rice.

The rice effect was kinda subtle on my card and hard to photograph, but you can see it best in this photo of the corner.

About Me

I've been married to my Best Friend for 24 years. I have four kids. I am a born again Christian. I love to create things especially out of paper. I also love photography. I always wonder how people came up with the titles of their blogs, so I thought I would share with you the story behind mine. My title for my blog comes from living along the Mississippi river, and from my friends on Splitcoast Stampers. They call me McGyver. I don't have a lot of money to buy the fancy stamping supplies, so I make do with what I have... hence the nickname McGyver.

Disclosure

As of December 1, 2009, new FTC guidelines went into effect requiring bloggers to disclose any time they are compensated for endorsing or reviewing products or services. I serve on several design teams and participate in various social media sites where I post projects containing components I have receive free, have been compensated for or received perks in return for posts on this blog. While this may be the case, I would never endorse or mislead you, my readers, by stating an opinion about any product that I did not wholeheartedly believe. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about any post or product I use in any of my projects.
